Capacity Building

Strengthening teams with digital and data skills

We help National Societies strengthen their digital capacities so they can effectively collect and manage data, and thus make evidence-based decisions before, during, and after crises. Our trainings, mentoring, and digital maturity assessments build practical skills and long-lasting capabilities for data-driven humanitarian action.

Examples include:

• Digital and data literacy training for staff and volunteers
• Data preparedness and digital maturity assessments
• Hands-on workshops in data collection, visualization, and analysis

Whether a National Society is starting its digital journey or scaling existing systems, we tailor our support to local context and needs. The capacity strengthening provided can be overarching, but also theme-specific to successfully embed digital solutions in a certain humanitarian domain.

“Our National Society’s digital maturity assessment has been a programme of culture, workflow and thought change, backed up by tech. Everyone in the organization is hungry for the changes that are already being made, and soon we will see the differences manifesting themselves.“
